Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Li Feng’s Status (2)

Li Feng smiled in satisfaction as he stared at his status window.

He had finally broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

On top of that, he had manage to upgrade another 50 stars in his Starforge Body through dual cultivation with Lan Suyao a days ago and again tonight with both Yue Lan and Lan Suyao.

However, he couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

’The next stage still feels so far away...’

He could clearly feel that the "space" inside his dantian had expanded dramatically.

It now required five times more spiritual energy to fill than before.

The higher he climbed in cultivation, the more terrifying the resource consumption became.

But then a lewd grin spread across his face.

He gave Yue Lan’s soft, supple rear a light, playful smack.

Pa!

"Hehe... That just means I need to work harder."

Maybe bringing Yue Lan along wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

With two top-tier beauties helping him with dual cultivation every night, his cultivation speed would surely soar.

Yue Lan let out a soft, tired moan as her plump rear twitched from the smack, but she didn’t have the desire to protest.

Now that he had vented his lust and taken a short break, Li Feng finally turned his thoughts toward the journey ahead.

After investing a hundred stars into Wei Meilin’s upgrade and all of his upgrade, he was now left with only 9,400 favor points.

For now, his strength had become quite terrifying, so he planned to keep the remaining favor points as an emergency reserve.

He didn’t dare underestimate the calamity waiting for him in the Fen Dynasty, even if he doesn’t choose to confront it.

He needed every ounce of power and every hidden card he could get.

Speaking of power, Li Feng suddenly remembered the reward he had obtained from the gacha.

And a complicated look appeared on his face.

After a moment of hesitation, he slowly took out a small, circular core.

It was pitch-black... the complete opposite of the radiant Gold Source he had once obtained.

The moment it appeared in his palm, the surrounding light seemed to be devoured by it.

Even the warm glow of the spirit lamps in the cabin dimmed noticeably, as if the darkness itself was gathering around the core.

Li Feng stared at it for a few seconds before checking its information.

[Ding!]

[Item: Dark Source]

[Remark: An extremely rare puppet material. Can be used as a Puppet Core containing high-grade spiritual awareness. It has the potential to evolve if certain conditions are met.]

[Note: Unlike the Gold Source, the Dark Source does not require an external vessel. It can absorb darkness and build its own body!]

[Ding!]

[Do you wish to materialize it?]

Li Feng’s eyes widened in surprise at the description.

He never expected it to be capable of forming its own body by absorbing darkness.

’It’s a bit different from Goldie...’

He lost himself in thought for a moment as he held the Dark Source in his palm.

Soon, he opened his eyes and made his decision.

After all, this wasn’t Goldie as it was something entirely different.

With a quiet exhale, Li Feng inwardly commanded,

’Do it.’

[Ding!]

[Activating Dark Source...]

[Materialization in progress...]

The moment he confirmed, the small black core trembled violently in his palm.

All the light in the cabin was violently sucked toward it.

The spirit lamps flickered wildly before dimming completely, plunging the entire room into near total darkness.

Sensing the incoming surge, Li Feng tossed the core a short distance away.

But it remain floating silently in mid-air.

WHOOOSH!

Suddenly, a terrifying devouring force erupted from the core.

Shadows from every corner of the cabin twisted and rushed toward it like living snakes.

And the temperature in the room dropped sharply as... a strange circular form of darkness condensed around the core.

Crack...

Crack...

Crack...

The core began to expanded rapidly, growing larger and larger until it reached the size of a human head.

Then, with a silent explosion of black mist, it began to take shape as thick, pitch-black shadows began to swirl and solidify.

First it began to form a strange tattered cloak and a flowing mantle made of pure condensed darkness that seemed to absorb all light around it.

Beneath the mantle, an extremely tall and slender black body slowly emerged...

The figure looked unnaturally tall, eerily silent, and slightly hunched over, yet it... radiated absolutely nothing.

There was no heartbeat or aura.

No breathing.

No sound at all.

It was like a real shadow.

The dark figure stood tall inside the room, towering over Li Feng at a height of over three meters.

There were no facial features on its head... only pure, endless darkness in the shape of a human head.

Soon, "it" opened its eyes.

Two simple, glowing white slits appeared beneath the darkness, shining like a gaze from an abyss.

"??"

It tilted it head and glanced around curiously for a moment.

But the instant its gaze landed on Li Feng...

The white slits of its eyes curved into crescents, as if it was smiling with joy.

"~~"

The tall and dark figure slowly knelt on both knees, lowering its hooded head in absolute submission.

Despite its eerie and terrifying appearance, the way it knelt was strangely... elegant and graceful.

Seeing the Dark Source fully materialize, Li Feng couldn’t help but look impressed.

Even though the figure emitted no detectable energy fluctuations or pressure... but his instincts screamed that this being was extremely dangerous.

He was just about to open its status window when—

"Li Feng!?"

Lan Suyao shouted as she sprang up from the bed.

In an instant, she stood protectively in front of him, with a seemingly powerful sword already in her hand.

Her expression was extremely alert and cautious as she stared at the kneeling dark figure.

At the same time, Yue Lan had silently risen and positioned herself beside Lan Suyao, gripping the ice jade sword Li Feng had gifted her.

Her golden eyes shone faintly in the darkness, cold and sharp as she locked onto the shadowy being.

Both women looked as if they were about to face a powerful enemy.

Seeing the two proud, naked beauties standing tall and intimidating while their bodies still flushed from their earlier activities... Li Feng was momentarily speechless as he could see his seed trailing down their thighs... but at the same time also thoroughly enjoying the breathtaking view from behind and the rare fierce expressions he seldom saw on them.

Suddenly, sensing the hostile intention, the kneeling dark figure moved as... it reacted instantly.

WHOOSH!

Li Feng frowned and shouted immediately.

"Stop! All of you!"

The dark figure froze mid-motion.

Its strangely long black arm had already extended, and its pitch-black hand was now gently... yet firmly holding both women by the neck.

"...!?"

"...??"

Lan Suyao and Yue Lan widened their eyes in shock as they stared down at the shadowy hand wrapped around their throats.
